Application Procedures
The process to apply for the MSc or PhD program in our department takes several months. The first step is to contact the Graduate Administrator, Lynne Hermiston, and submit copies of your transcripts for evaluation. Her email is hermisto@cs.umanitoba.ca.
Once the initial assessment has been done, the next step is to find a faculty member in this department to supervise your program. You MUST have a supervisor before you can be considered for admission to the thesis MSc program. If you are applying for the coursework Master's program this step can be skipped. The final step is to submit an application to the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
